El comportamiento ecológico responsable de los jefes de hogar, es dependiente de su condición sociodemográfica

Abstract

Abstract: This research analyzes responsible ecological behavior regarding the appropriate use of water, taking age, gender, level of education, economic income and environmental perception as measurement variables. A survey was applied to 338 heads of households in the Loja canton. With the information obtained, an econometric model was carried out on the sociodemographic variables to determine the significance and probability of making correct use of water. In the environmental perception variable, the K-means cluster method was used, made up of three groups that are related to the sociodemographic variables where a high and low average level of pro-environmental behaviors was observed. With the results obtained, it can be determined that age and economic income have greater significance, with the probability that a person makes adequate use of water.
